"In his review of Contax Zeiss lenses, Tom Shea asks of the 50/1.4 lens, "Could this lens be the sharpest 50mm lens?" Well, Tom, as a matter of fact it seems that indeed it is. For anyone interested in the Contax Carl Zeiss Planar T* 50/1.4 lens, the Feb. 1999 issue of Popular Photography contains an intriguing article/comparative test, "The Great 50/1.4 Shootout" (p. 66), in which this lens is pretty comprehensively tested against the comparable lenses from Canon, Leica, Minolta, Nikon, Pentax, and Schneider. Details of the tripartite testing procedure are given. The results were that the Zeiss lens "delivered the best overall image quality of any of the seven 50/1.4 SLR lenses in our test group." (The runners up were the Canon EF and the Leica Summilux-R.) Clearly this is one hell of a lens."
